Aigoods Corporation Expands Through Strategic Acquisitions

In a pivotal move aimed at bolstering its business operations, Aigoods Corporation, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced the acquisition of all issued shares from three notable companies: S&S Corporation, Idea Co., Ltd., and NEDEA Co., Ltd. This strategic alignment is expected to take effect by the summer of 2026.

Background and Objectives of the Partnership

The acquisition of these three entities is rooted in their distinct expertise ranging from planning to manufacturing, allowing them to create a robust production system.

S&S Corporation

Founded in 1962, S&S is much more than a manufacturer. The company has developed a diverse range of operations, including the planning and sales of its trademark product, Costume QP, alongside managing merchandise sales and character shops at events. S&S utilizes its consumer connections to enhance product offerings significantly.

Idea Co., Ltd.

Located in Nagano, Idea is dedicated to producing character merchandise, particularly acrylic products, from its own factory. The company has established itself as a leader in high-quality domestic production, specializing in small lots while maintaining exceptional quality. Idea manages the entire design and manufacturing process for more than 10,000 Costume QP products, catering to a global market.

NEDEA Co., Ltd.

As a local subsidiary based in Yangon, Myanmar, NEDEA handles crucial segments of the Costume QP manufacturing process, including sewing, molding, printing, and assembly. This structured approach ensures cost competitiveness and stable production capabilities.

The collaboration aims to reinforce the sustainable development of S&S, Idea, and NEDEA, merging their strengths in manufacturing and planning with Aigoods’ quality control and management systems. The goal is to provide higher value products and services to customers by optimizing the collective expertise of all four firms.

Continuity of Independent Operations

Despite the capital and operational partnership, S&S, Idea, and NEDEA will operate as independent companies, preserving their unique business identities. Clients can expect the same reliability in their interactions as before, ensuring a seamless transition. It's important to note the following:

• - The production methods, design processes, and product planning will remain unchanged.
• - Brand names, company logos, and packaging will continue without alteration.
• - The methods for ordering and client communication will stay streamlined as per existing protocols.
• - The company names, locations, and employee structures of S&S, Idea, and NEDEA will not see any modifications.
• - Confidential client information and know-how will remain protected and not be shared with third parties.
